The next weeks we'll be featuring new applications of well-known materials to refresh our material thinking. We are starting off with a very usual material indeed: concrete!

Please update your bookmarks if you are still filing concrete under "rough and clumsy". The Concrete Curtain by Memux architectural design from Vienna redefines the use of concrete with this unusual application.
The curtain might have the looks of a thick fabric but is actually a set of small concrete elements gathered on a flexible mesh of geo-textile. The play of light and it's sluggish movement by the wind gives concrete a more soft and poetic character.
